Toy Guns

Me and my friends are goin out for a mates bday on saturday, and we're dressing up as cowgirls... however the local plod state we can't have plastic guns and holsters as they are imitation weapons apparently. whatever next...

Lol, when our band did the youth entertainment contest at the Winter Gardens last year, the theme was films, and one of the cornet players (who was dressed as James Bond) had to use a pink gun, the type that squirts bubbles out, so as not to look like a terrorist or something! It did kind of ruin the effect.

I have to agree that it does seem a bit OTT, but then there was an incident in the paper yesterday where someone was charged because he had waved a bright yellow toy gun at some teenagers who'd been harassing him

A couple of years ago there was a concert of James Bond music put on by a local orchestra in the Cambridge Corn Exchange. The Orchestra strikes up with the Bond Theme tune, and an actor comes out with a toy gun. Unbeknown to most people, John Major was sitting at the front of the audience with bodyguards, who jumped the actor when he inadvertantly pointed said plastic gun at Mr Major.
